Requires AngularJS 1.2+, the ngAnimate module, and the GSAP JavaScript animation library as dependencies.
ng-Fx is an animation library for AngularJS apps that lets you add smooth, polished motion to your interface elements without writing complex code. Instead of dealing with keyframes or animation logic yourself, you just add a CSS-like class name to an element and it gets animated automatically, fading, sliding, bouncing, or other effects when it appears, disappears, or moves on screen. What makes it different from typical CSS animation libraries is that all the actual animation work happens in JavaScript rather than through CSS rules. This means animations can be dynamic and adjust on the fly, rather than being locked into predefined behavior. It piggybacks on Angular's built-in animation support, so it works with common directives like ng-show, ng-hide, ng-repeat, ng-if, and others. You can customize easing (the feel of the motion, like a bounce or elastic effect) and speed by adding additional class names, and you can even listen for events when an animation finishes so your app can respond accordingly. This would appeal to developers building AngularJS applications who want their interfaces to feel more alive and professional without spending time hand-crafting animations. For example, if you have a list of items that users can add to or remove from, slapping a fade-down animation on it makes each item gracefully slide in and out instead of just popping into existence. Someone building a dashboard might use it to animate panels appearing, or a form-heavy app could animate validation messages sliding in. The project requires AngularJS (version 1.2 or later), the ngAnimate module, and a JavaScript animation library called GSAP. The README notes planned improvements including more animations, a simpler API for creating custom ones, and more targeted event handling per element rather than per animation type.
